Super Bowl Pregame Show 2017: Start Time, Full TV Schedule, Coverage Breakdown

The New England Patriots will face off against the Atlanta Falcons at Houston's NRG Stadium on Sunday in Super Bowl LI. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST, but coverage of the game is an all-day affair. The game will air on Fox, as will the official pre-game show, which will span several hours.

Fox's official pregame show will start at 2 p.m. and run four and a half hours to kickoff. The show will feature analysis and interviews, the most noteworthy being a taped interview with President Donald Trump. Fox News host Bill O'Reilly will conduct the interview, as he did with former President Barack Obama in 2011 and 2014. The network hasn't announced what time the interview will run.

The pregame show will also feature a musical performance by "Hamilton" actresses Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Jasmine Cephas Jones. The trio, who originated the roles of the Schuyler sisters in the hit Broadway musical, will perform "America the Beautiful."

After the official game coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., country music star Luke Bryan will perform the national anthem.

Finally, 92-year-old President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush will conduct the pregame coin toss. Then Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the game, which will feature a halftime performance by Lady Gaga.
